* Comicbook/{{Nightwing}} and Comicbook/{{Robin}} are about to enter a hidden base. The control panel hidden in the tree makes an elevator rise out of the middle of the lake. They start slogging to it and Nightwing quips, "Step right in. Next floor, toys, games, electronics, center of the Earth."

** Of course, every location has different lines, but another one goes:

** [[Podcast/{{Rifftrax}} "Also housewares, ladies' lingerie, and blatant traps for idiot children."]]

* This kind of announcement message was used straight in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trhsw_BxT_k theme tune]] of ''Series/AreYouBeingServed'', which made sense, since it was set in a department store.

** Incidentally, the series took place almost entirely on the first floor, which did in fact feature the menswear department. Oddly, it also featured the women's department, which went completely unannounced in the theme.

* Series/{{Farscape}} 4x07 "[[Recap/FarscapeS04E07JohnQuixote John Quixote]]" has a [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs ridiculous]] one;
-->[[Series/MaxHeadroom John Headroom]]: (Elevator music plays constantly) Yes I know. This elevator sucks. My job su-su-sucks. Day after day the same-the same thing. Up. Down. Up. Down-down. Just once-just once it'd be nice to go... sideways. Just-just... sideways. Frog Princes! (Door opens, a monster blows fire, John slays it.) N-n-not that I plan on doing this forever-ever.
